Traded in my Bullitt on a new 08 GT500

I traded in my 08 Bullitt on thursday for an 08 GT500 that was still on the lot. Performance White with blue stripes- which is the color I wanted.
Ford is accepting a/z/x plan on these and giving a $7500CAN rebate- so this really helped with the depreciation hit I took on the Bullitt.
I'll be picking up the car later next week.

Congrats. You'll love it. It is a sweet car. Mine is already under a cover for the winter. I miss driving it already.

a/z/x plan is a discount give to ford employees (a plan), retired Ford employess(z plan) and friends of Ford employees (x plan). You need a PIN number in order to claim those discounts. The $7500 rebate was on 08 GT500's- perhaps it also applies to other 08 models.

Oh Yeah! Have you driven it yet?

Too bad you couldn't keep both...

Enjoy.

Haven't driven it yet. I'll pick it up later this week- it's getting tinted and paint protected. So I'll enjoy short trip home and then right into my garage for the winter. We've already got snow on the ground so I won't be driving it again for another 6 months

It would've been nice to keep the Bullitt, but I just couldn't see the point to storing 2 cars for the winter.
But I will always have fond memories of #2246.

I agree.

I know the Saleen are nice cars and they sound sweet, but, I just don't care for the styling. It is only my personal opinion/taste.

They aren't that great. The body work is very cheap. I had an 06 S281E over the summer and the body parts were coming loose in the back. It was a blast to drive though!
